NextImg:NBC News to drop ex-RNC chair Ronna McDaniel after Rachel Maddow, ‘Morning Joe’ revolt

NBC News plans to drop former Republican National Committee boss Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor after network stars including MSNBC prime time headliner Rachel Maddow and the co-hosts of “Morning Joe” blasted the decision to bring the Trump-backing politico on board.

The network has not made an announcement, but one is pending, according to Puck News. The Post has sought comment from NBC and McDaniel.

McDaniel is reportedly looking to hire a lawyer, according to Puck News.

Maddow, MSNBC’s most bankable name, said on her Monday show that hiring McDaniel was “inexplicable” and demanded that executives “reverse their decision.”

“The fact that Ms. McDaniel is on the payroll at NBC News, to me that is inexplicable,” Maddow said during Monday’s broadcast of her weekly prime time show.

Maddow went on to bash McDaniel as “someone who hasn’t just attacked us as journalists, but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government.”

“You wouldn’t hire a made man like a mobster to work at a DA’s office, right? You wouldn’t hire a pick-pocket to work as a TSA screener,” Maddow concluded.

Earlier on Monday, Joe Scarborough and his wife, Mika Brzezinski, who co-host MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” pledged on the air that they would not invite McDaniel to their program, calling her an “anti-democracy election denier.”
